Alternative Distribution Accounting System functioning at Investors Fiduciary
Trust Company ("IFTC"), Kansas City, Missouri. Our examination included
procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether (1) the accompanying
description (Appendix I) presents fairly, in all material respects, the aspects
of the policies and procedures that may be relevant to the Funds' internal
control structure, (2) the control structure policies and procedures included in
the description were suitably designed to achieve the control objectives
specified in the description, if those policies and procedures were complied
with satisfactorily, and (3) such policies and procedures has been placed in
operation as of March 31, 1995. The control objectives were specified by the
management of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated. Our examination was performed
in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and included those procedures we considered necessary in the
circumstances to obtain a reasonable basis for rendering our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying description of the aforementioned Alternative
Distribution Accounting System presents fairly, in all material respects, the
relevant aspects of policies and procedures that had been placed in operation as
of March 31, 1995. Also, in our opinion, the policies and procedures, as
described, are suitably designed to provide reasonable assurance that the
specified control objectives would be achieved if the described policies and
procedures were complied with satisfactorily.
<PAGE>
In addition to the procedures we considered necessary to render our opinion as
expressed in the previous paragraph, we applied tests to specific policies and
procedures, listed in Appendix II, to obtain evidence about their effectiveness
in meeting the control objectives, as described in Appendix II, during the
period from April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995. The specific policies and
procedures and the nature, timing, extent, and results of the tests are listed
in Appendix II. In our opinion, such policies and procedures were operating with
sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
the control objectives specified in Appendix II were achieved during the period
from April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995.
The relative effectiveness and significance of specific policies and procedures
at IFTC and their effect on assessments of control risk at the Funds are
dependent on their interaction with the policies, procedures, and other factors
present at the Funds. We have performed no procedures to evaluate the
effectiveness of policies and procedures at the Funds with respect to this
report.
The description of policies and procedures at IFTC is as of March 31, 1995, and
information about tests of the operating effectiveness of specified policies and
procedures covers the period from April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995. Any
projection of such information to the future is subject to the risk that,
because of change, the description may no longer portray the system in
existence. The potential effectiveness of specified policies and procedures at
IFTC is subject to inherent limitations and, accordingly, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Furthermore, the projection of any
conclusions, based on our findings, to future periods is subject to the risk
that changes may alter the validity of such conclusions.
This report is intended solely for use by the management and Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Appendix I
Description of the "Alternative Distribution Accounting System" (the "System")
The Funds' capital structure contains two classes of shares, each with a
different expense composition. The following is a summary of the class
structure:
Class A shares refer to shares sold under the "Initial Sales Load
Option" and are subject to a front-end sales load and an annual service
fee of up to .25% of average daily net asset value.
Class D shares refer to shares sold under the "No Initial Sales Load
Option" and are not subject to an initial sales load but incur an annual
service fee of up to .25% of average daily net asset value and an annual
distribution fee of up to .75% of average daily net asset value.
Class D has replaced the Class C noted in the Amended Exemptive Application
Filing of March 29, 1993. As of March 31, 1995, Class C shares and the Class B
shares noted in the Amended Exemption Application Filing of March 29, 1993 have
not been established.
Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC") serves as the primary recordkeeper
for all transactions authorized by the Funds' management. In its portfolio
administrator role, IFTC is responsible for preparing daily net asset value
computations, updating the general ledger and investment portfolio, and
maintaining other subsidiary information as required by the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
DAILY PROCEDURES FOLLOWED BY INVESTORS FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY IN APPLICATION OF
THE SYSTEM
In order to facilitate the appropriate recordkeeping for each class of shares,
IFTC utilizes an accounting structure consisting of a principal general ledger
and class-specific ledgers.
The principal general ledger is used to record all transactions occurring at the
fund level.
The class-specific ledger is used to record fund share activity, class-specific
expenses and allocated income and expenses for each class.
A daily checklist has been developed for IFTC to ensure all daily entries and
reviews are completed in order to report properly the net asset values
calculated in accordance with the System (Attachment I).
IFTC utilizes an automated Multiple Class Pricing System ("MCPS") to calculate
net asset value ("NAV") for each class. An illustration of the allocation
methodology used to calculate each class' NAV is included at Attachment II. The
MCPS derives NAV from a capital statement, rather than balance sheet,
perspective by tracking all daily activity occurring in the Fund and in each
class. The allocation ratios are automatically calculated by IFTC's Portfolio
Accounting System ("PAS") based on each class' respective portion of total fund
net assets. The output from the MCPS is maintained on the Daily Price Make-Up by
Class report. An example of this report is included at Attachment III. A
supervisory review of the calculations is performed by IFTC.
Policies and procedures governing the posting allocations were specified by the
management of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated ("Seligman"), the Funds'
manager.
<PAGE>
Appendix I
(Continued)
The following represents a description of the major segments and control points
to be employed by the System.
Investment Transactions and Accrual of Income
Investment transactions are posted to the principal general ledger of PAS.
Interest and dividend income are also accrued in the principal general ledger.
The total amount payable and/or receivable for security transactions are
recorded on the daily batch sheet and are sent to Seligman for review.
The accuracy of investment transaction information processed through PAS is
based upon controls functioning separately from the controls in place for the
Alternative Distribution Accounting System. Such controls have not been tested
in connection with the issuance of this report.
Share Activity
Fund share subscriptions and redemptions are recorded in class-specific ledgers
for each class. The ending share balances from the class-specific ledgers are
agreed on a daily basis to the shares outstanding on the shareholder service
agent's reports for each class.
The value of settled shares (i.e., dividend shares) outstanding is calculated
daily for use in the multiple class allocations for the daily dividend Funds.
The value of settled shares for each class equals the ending dividend shares
times the previous day's NAV per share.
The value of shares outstanding (i.e., adjusted net assets) is calculated daily
for all Funds for each class as the prior day's net assets plus the current
day's capital activity.
The accuracy of shareholder transaction information processed through PAS is
based upon controls functioning separately from the controls in place for the
Alternative Distribution Accounting System. Such controls have not been tested
in connection with the issuance of this report.
Allocation of Revenue and Expense
The system allocates revenue and common expenses ratably to each class. Revenue
and expense allocations are based either on the value of settled shares or on
the value of shares outstanding depending on the distribution methodology of the
fund. Each class allocation is posted via the automated allocation facility to
the memorandum accounts of the class-specific ledger. The sum of the daily
allocated revenue and expenses of the memorandum accounts of the class-specific
ledger is agreed to the principal general ledger.
The accuracy of the revenue and expense accruals processed through PAS is based
upon controls functioning separately from the controls in place for the
Alternative Distribution Accounting System. Such controls have not been tested
in connection with the issuance of this report.
Class-Specific Expenses
Class-specific expenses are accrued in each class-specific ledger based upon
amounts authorized by Seligman.
Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation and Realized Gains and Losses
The change in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation and realized gains and
losses are recorded in the principal general ledger and allocated to the classes
based on the value of shares outstanding.
<PAGE>
Calculation of NAV Per Class
The current day's net assets are calculated by adding the daily increase or
decrease in undistributed net investment income, capital share activity,
realized gains and losses, distributions of net realized gains and unrealized
appreciation/depreciation to the prior day's net assets. Net asset value per
share for each class is calculated by dividing the class' current day net assets
by its ending shares balance.
The NAV calculation for each class is reviewed by Seligman on a daily basis.
Dividend Rate Calculation
For periodic dividend Funds, the annual dividend rate per share for investment
income for each class will be calculated using the "record share" method. Total
investment income less common expenses from the principal general ledger is
divided by record date shares for all classes to arrive at an annual gross
dividend rate per share. Per share class-specific expenses, accrued in each
class-specific ledger, are deducted on a per share basis from the annual gross
dividend rate per share to arrive at the class-specific dividend rate per share.
The periodic dividends are authorized by the Funds' Board of Directors based
upon Seligman's estimate of the annual class specific dividend rate per share.
For daily dividend Funds, the dividend rate for investment income for each class
will be calculated using the "actual income" method. Under the "actual income"
method, the dividend rate is based on daily allocated income less allocated
common expenses and class-specific expenses divided by ending dividend shares.
Net realized gains for the Fund are divided by total ending shares to derive the
net realized gain distribution per share, which is paid to both class A and D
shareholders.

Appendix II
Control Objectives, Policies and Procedures
of the Alternative Distribution Accounting System
This report on policies and procedures placed in operation and tests of
operating effectiveness is intended to provide the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Boards of Directors/Trustees and management with information
sufficient to obtain an understanding of those aspects of control structure
policies and procedures of the Alternative Distribution Accounting System that
may be relevant to a user organization's internal control structure, and reduce
the assessed level of control risk below the maximum for certain financial
statement assertions. This report, when coupled with an understanding of the
internal control structure policies and procedures in place at user
organizations, is intended to assist in the assessment of the total internal
control structure surrounding transactions processed through the application.
Our examination was restricted to the allocation methodology of the Alternative
Distribution Accounting System and accordingly did not extend to procedures in
effect at user organizations or other supporting applications at Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company. The examination was conducted in accordance with the
Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, "Reports on the Processing of
Transactions by Service Organizations," of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. It is each interested party's responsibility to evaluate
this information in relation to internal control structure policies and
procedures in place at user organizations to obtain an understanding of the
internal control structure policy and procedures and assess control risk.
Our examination included inquiry of appropriate management, supervisory and
staff personnel; inspection of documents and records; observation of activities
and operations; and tests of controls surrounding the Alternative Distribution
Accounting System. Our tests of controls were performed from April 1, 1994 to
March 31, 1995, and were applied to those control structure policies and
procedures relating to control objectives specified in Appendix II.
The description of policies and procedures and control objectives are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion that the policies and procedures are operating with sufficient
effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the
control objectives were achieved during the period covered by our report.

Control Objectives, Policies and Procedures
of the Alternative Distribution Accounting System (the "System")
The System functions in a principal general ledger and class-specific ledger
account structure on the Investors Fiduciary Trust Company Portfolio Accounting
System. This System includes the detail of transactions in accordance with the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
The following represents the internal accounting control objectives and policies
and procedures for the allocation of income and expenses and the computation of
the net asset value and, if applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class
of shares utilizing the Daily Price Make-Up by Class report from the MCPS. It
does not cover the internal accounting control policies and procedures
surrounding the processing of information into the Funds' primary accounting
system.
The Daily Price Make-Ups by Class which were selected for testing during the
period April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995 were subject to the procedures set forth
